> Extract archive To... [...]

This requires a lot more work than simply clicking the menu item.
And does not allow selecting several archives at once for extracting.

Plus the 'Extract Into a Subfolder' option is safest if you don't know the
structure of your archives you are about to extract. So I think it should be
easily accessible from the service menu.
Otherwise the user is left with this limited set of predefined quick actions
none of which is really safe for the data in such cases. Whichever action is
selected the user may end up having to reject many overwrite alerts, cancel all
the extractions, delete the already extracted data and start over manually
extracting archives one by one. Doesn't sound like a user friendly approach.

(In reply to ultr from comment #5)
> there is no option to 'Extract Into a Subfolder',

Have you tried with: Right click -> Extract -> Extract archive To... ?
>From that dialog you can check the "Extract into subfolder" option and choose
whatever name you want for this subfolder. In this case, the default name is
going to be "mycode" and you just need to add "-v1" or "-v2".

I have checked this with Ark 15.08.3 and Plasma 5.4.3 and it still does not
work.

Both service menu options for fast extraction:
- 'Extract Archive Here, Autodetect Subfolder' and
- 'Extract Archive Here'
try to overwrite files when extracting both attached archives.

Extracting first archive creates this directory tree:
- mycode
- - a.c
- - a.h
Extracting the other archive tries to overwrite it.

This is OK, but there is no option to 'Extract Into a Subfolder',
so that the directory tree would look like that:
- mycode-v1 (named after the archive file name)
- - mycode
- - - a.c
- - - a.h
- mycode-v2 (named after the archive file name)
- - mycode
- - - a.c
- - - a.h

Without the ark's --forcesubfolder parameter it is not even possible to create
the 'Extract Into a Subfolder' service menu item.

I agree. Let's wait a few days, and if there are no objections from the OP, we
can close this report.
